7.2/10 Good! (332 reviews)
The hotel has a great location, right in the city center, which is definitely one of its biggest advantages. However, the property is quite old and could use some updates. We stayed in two connected rooms because we were traveling with children. The layout was convenient, but unfortunately, our children’s room had a strong sewage smell, which made the stay less comfortable. The window faced a wall of another building, so there was very little fresh air and almost no view. The air conditioning was also quite weak and did not cool the room enough, especially during warm weather. Overall, the location is excellent, but the condition of the rooms and some comfort issues affected our experience. We would rate this hotel three stars. It may be a good option depending on your budget and expectations, especially if the central location is your priority.

"Beautiful hotel near many attractions, the morning breakfast is the most iconic as you get both view of Ayasofya and Blue Mosque. Rooms feel old but it’s the vibe that takes you back to the 1900s if you like that. Overall great experience."
